Artificial Intelligence AI: The branch of computer science dedicated to the creation of machines that perform task which if done by humans would be considered ‘intelligent’. Historical background Devices for aiding human mental processes trace back to earliest Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations 1600’s both William Schikard & Blaze Pascal developed calculating machines that could outperform humans 1800 Charles Babbage: difference engine and analytical engine 1930’s Allan Turing and the Turing Machine and the Turing Test 1940’s-50’s John von Neumann and the ‘von Neumann’ architecture – RAM; subroutines; serial processing

The triumph of Deep Blue In 1996, Deep Blue vs. Garry Kasparov DB 1 win; GK 3 wins; 2 draws. In 1997, there was rematch. Result: 1 for GK; 2 for DB and 3 draws. For the first time in history a computer was the world’s best chess player! Deep Blue was a combination of special purpose hardware and software with an IBM RS/6000 SP2 (seen here) -- a system capable of examining 200 million moves per second, or 50 billion positions, in the three minutes allocated for a single move in a chess game.
